2 Jack Stands or 3 Required?

[KeithInAurora]

I just ordered a BajaRon Anti-Sway Bar that I will be installing soon. As I am a newbie to Spyderhood, I went out an purchased a 1500 lb capacity ATV Jack (that BajaRon recommended) and 2 jack stands. My question is whether I need to have 3 jack stands (one for the back) or if I can get away with the 2 front jack stands plus the jack under the Spyder and still be safe?

if your cycle jack locks than a stand under the rear shock mount will work just fine if not put a stand under the front a arms.

I just drove mine up on a pair of automotive car ramps.

Here's what I did..!!

jack up the roadster place the jack stands under the A arms close to the wheels for safety and place some blocks under the rear wheel. The atv jack I have works alone but still to be safe support your work...:thumbup:

Thanks All

Thanks for the advice. My cycle jack does lock so I will make sure to use that in addition to the jack stands. Incidentally, I also have car ramps, but I didn't think they'd be high enough off the ground. If they are, I'll probably go that route.

Ramps won't get you there on a 2013 but it is a good start and makes positioning the jack easier on your 2010 they may work though. You will need to move the frunk forward to get at the bolts.

I use two jack stands and some wood blocks under the rear tire to stabilize everything. Works great for me?
